As you can obviously tell I am neither a Cardinals or Sox fan so I have no horse in this race. But even you should be able to tell that Holliday is a much better value than Crawford. Holliday is a career .318 batter a career 100 plus RBI man per season, with a career .390 OBP and .935 OPS. All numbers that dwarf Crawford’s and at $22M less over the course of life of the contract.
As for your last comment what you say says more about you than the Yankees.

Wed, 13 Jul 2011 06:50:00 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=70693#comment-162737Let’s give Crawford a chance, at least. The Cards will be regretting that contract by like, 2015. Crawford’s skill set ages better. His 2011 value will not be commensurate with his contract. But let’s give it some time…

Yankees suck.

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:14:32 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=70693#comment-162460I’m sure I know the question that’s on everyone’s mind. If you were the Theo Epstein who would you rather be manning left field for your team.
Matt Holliday at a cost of 7 years $120M total
or
Carl Crawford at a cost of 7 years $142M total

I will leave it at that.

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:09:52 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=70693#comment-162456Anyone else want to jump on the bandwagon and be “Interested in the Red Sox”? I’m waiting for a semi-decent player to come out and say they’re interested in playing for a bad team like the Astros, or worse yet, the Mets.
